A lot has changed for Sergio Perez in three years. Consigned to F1s scrapheap by McLaren three years ago, the Mexican driver has become one of the hottest commodities on the grid having revived his career at Force India.His career turnaround has been so significant that he has been a major player in this years driver market, even if he had a contract with Force India all along. Perezs unwillingness to publicly commit to another year came as his sponsors explored other options up and down the grid -- notably Williams and Renault. In Monza he said he had decided on what he wanted to do, and that it was what I always wanted.Speaking about his decision, Perez told ESPN: Its not easy, especially not knowing where youre going to be in the future and so on. Its your career and you keep asking a lot of questions to yourself - can it be better, or worse? But Im happy with my decision and I know its the best one for my career.The decision is expected to be another season at Force India -- putting Perez into an enviable position. That year will give him time to assess the lie of the land under 2017s big regulation changes at a team which continues to move up the pecking order and, as many observers have noted, put him in prime position for a 2018 seat at Ferrari without potentially damaging his current standing at a Renault team with no guarantees of being truly competitive next season.Flavour of the monthFormula One can be a fickle business, something Perez encapsulates better than most of his peers on the grid. Dropped by McLaren after one disappointing campaign in 2013, a career full of so much promise and potential seemed to have stalled prematurely.Vijay Mallya saved Perezs career in 2014, signing the driver who had been so impressive at Sauber in 2012. He scored a podium apiece in 2014 and 2015, but still seemed to be firmly in the shadow of Force India teammate Nico Hulkenberg -- who won the Le Mans 24 Hours for Porsche last season.The 2016 campaign has changed all that. His podiums in Monaco and Baku are among the best drives of the season, a glimpse of what might have been had his first year at McLaren not coincided with the teams first year without a top three finish since 1980.Asked if there was value in being flavour of the month in F1 when it came to the driver market, he said: Thats the case, definitely. Its a funny sport. But its Formula One, you are racing against the best. We are 22, but theres probably ten of us who are a really competing on a very close level of racing.Only one tenth would separate us, you know, in those top ten drivers in the paddock. So its not easy to stay here and carve out a long career. You have to work hard and give yourself a chance to work the best. If you dont perform quick enough you may not survive; its very rare that people survive in Formula One without the results. I didnt have the results at McLaren and I didnt stay. I have the results now and people think differently of you - its just the way the game works.For Perez, McLarens treatment of him in 2013 has played a big part in his career resurgence at Force India.Ive grown so much after my McLaren period, thats been important in my career. I had a tough time there and managed to overcome those problems at McLaren. It was close to finishing me very early on in my career. So it was great to be able to come back stronger... what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Thats what McLaren did to me, my time at McLaren, it just made me grow as a racing driver, as a person, right now Im much more complete.Right place, right timePerezs own teammate is a good example of this changing nature of F1 driver perceptions. After winning the Le Mans last year, Hulkenbergs name was among those mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari along with Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo. Perez, who was part of the Ferrari Academy until leaving for McLaren in 2013, was never a part of the conversation.Though a long shot for the Ferrari drive in 2016, Hulkenberg has frequently had to field questions about whether his best chance at a big move has passed him by. Despite being highly rated in the paddock the German is still waiting to stand on an F1 podium, something which has further magnified Perezs own success in the last three seasons.But Perez thinks the constant pressure of thinking about big drives is something which can hurt a driver and says it is something he has had to learn to ignore.When I was a bit younger I used to be obsessed with that, what would be available and what would not, and not enjoy so much the moment. Right now Im so bothered at all. My main focus is to enjoy the present... now I always know what Im doing next year I try to enjoy the moment, you know? In life, it changes all the time, so the most important thing is to enjoy the present.Asked if that obsession affected his driving when he was at McLaren in 2013, he said: It wasnt that, but theres a lot of pressure, very big pressure. You feel that maybe you might be out of the business, you might have missed your big chance... what you have to do is just get on with your job, enjoy it and remember how lucky you are to be part of this life. Thats it, enjoy life and get on with it.In the hands of sponsorsHis sponsors played a key role in the uncertainty around his future. The Mexican group of businesses have been with him since the start of his career and control his destiny, in conjunction with Perezs wishes. But Perez denies it is a case of business over passion when deciding his future - both he and his backers want to one day land in a car capable of winning a world championship.At the end of the day everything is down to the results, and results is the passion that drives us. The sponsors are here because they want to win with me, they have big ambitions, thats why we decide together. Im lucky to have sponsors who understand the sport and thats why its great we can decide together.Its important sponsors are happy and theyre willing to support the project - and they are [for his 2017 decision]. Im very happy because things are going in the right direction.A move to Renault or Williams in 2017 would have been uncertain, while staying at Force India would see him remain at a team pushing hard to finish fourth in this years constructors championship.When asked if Force India could maintain this years impressive form in 2017, and therefore cope with splitting resources this year, Perez hinted at his final decision, saying: No, I dont think so, I think we are going up. This team is going to keep improving and thats why its a great place to be... Cheap Air Jordan 5 .

Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. DETROIT -- Albert Pujols got the biggest hit of the game. Jered Weaver delivered the most encouraging performance, as far as the Los Angeles were concerned. Pujols hit a tiebreaking double in the 10th inning and the Angels beat Detroit 3-1 on Thursday for their ninth straight victory over the Tigers. Mike Trout had four hits and was in the middle of the decisive rally for the Angels, who completed a three-game sweep. Weaver pitched seven strong innings in a tight duel with Detroit right-hander Doug Fister. "Just wanted to concentrate on keeping things simple and keeping the mechanics sound and tried to locate," said Weaver, the staff ace who had struggled since coming off the disabled list. Making his sixth start since returning from a broken left (non-throwing) elbow, Weaver gave up one run and four hits. He walked two and struck out six. After the Tigers scored in the second, Weaver allowed only a hit and a walk in his final five innings. He retired his last 13 batters. "Were confident that hes going to pitch more like he did today than the way he has in a couple of his last starts," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. J.B. Shuck singled leading off the 10th against Phil Coke (0-5) and went to third on Trouts single to right field. Pujols sent a drive to deep centre, where Austin Jackson tried to make a difficult catch with his back to home plate. The ball tipped off the webbing of Jacksons glove, hit the wall and trickled to the ground. "That ball was crushed," Scioscia said. After an intentional walk to Howie Kendrick loaded the bases, Josh Hamilton made it 3-1 with a sacrifice fly. "The Pujols pitch wasnt a bad pitch. I think that maybe it wasnt the right pitch in that particular moment," Coke said. "I didnt feel like I made the perfect pitch to him by any means, but the last thing I thought he was going to do is hit it as far as he did. It was away from him. I looked at where (catcher Brayan) Pena was set up and he was going away from Pujols with his glove, going away to receive the ball. He found it with his barrel." Kevin Jepsen (1-2) worked a scoreless ninth for the win and Ernesto Frieri got three outs for his 19th save in 21 chances. Neither team could do much against the starters. Scott Downs replaced Weaver and set down the leadoff man in the eighth. But Downs then allowed Omar Infantes pinch-hit double and hit Jackson with a pitch. Downs was pulled for Michael Kohn, who struck outt former Angel Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera, both swinging, to end the inning.dddddddddddd "Having a situation with Torii, as clutch as they come, and then youve got the best hitter in the league up next," Scioscia said. "What he did to get out of that eighth inning was huge." Fister yielded one run and seven hits in seven innings, walking one and striking out four. After the Angels tied the game in the fourth, he gave up only one hit in his final three innings and didnt allow a runner past second. "He did a tremendous job. The fact that he was able to contain that offence, that shows that hes a good pitcher," Pena said. "He kept us in the ballgame and he gave us a chance to win the ballgame. Thats what you ask. He pitched beautifully." Fister was relieved by Al Alburquerque, who pitched a scoreless eighth. The Angels got runners to second and third with two outs in the ninth against Joaquin Benoit, but he struck out Erick Aybar swinging at a 3-2 pitch to get out of the jam. Detroit took a 1-0 lead in the second on Brayan Penas two-out RBI single. It scored Victor Martinez, who singled with one out and went to second when Jhonny Peralta followed with a single. Los Angeles tied it in the fourth on three consecutive singles to start the inning. Brad Hawpes single to right scored Hamilton from third. Alberto Callaspo was thrown out at third by Hunter on the play. NOTES: Los Angeles placed RHP Tommy Hanson on the 15-day disabled list. Hanson was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday night when he felt tightness in his right forearm while warming up in the bullpen. Scioscia said Hanson (4-2, 5.10 ERA) would have an MRI on Thursday. The team recalled LHP Michael Roth from Double-A Arkansas. ...
